3. Repro steps. ng new angular2-cli-test cd angular2-cli-test ng serve

4. The log given by the failure. Normally this include a stack trace and some more information.

c:\Workspaces\angular2-cli-test>ng serve

Running without elevated rights. Running Ember CLI “as Administrator” increases performance significantly. See ember-cli.com/user-guide/#windows for details.

1. Mention any other details that might be useful. I’m on Win 7 … no admin rights … and I will never get admin rights due to the security restrictions in the company.
